Promise Delivered

Read Genesis 17:1-14

When Abram was 99 years old the Lord appeared to Him and said - I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless.

Imagine this happening to you.  Imagine coming face to face and God says who He is and what He expects of you.  Just imagine.  How would that impact your life?  How would you live after this face to face with Almighty God?

God then confirms His covenant with Abraham with the promise we spoke of a few weeks ago.  God says I am confirming my covenant with you and you will be the father of many nations.  At 99 Abram's hearing this news and if you're anything like me, you're thinking - are you serious?  I'm 99, how is that going to happen.

Listen, when God makes a promise, He delivers!

Read Genesis 17:1-14 and just pray about how God makes and keeps His promises.  And ask God to help you live blameless just as Abram was called to live in light of who God is and what He expects.
